I am not sure if this is a repost but what car do you guys drive.

I drive my parents Land Rover Discovery Diesel. Extremely slow!

Do bikers drive fast or slow sensible cars in general?

VW Golf turbo chipped to 225 bhp if im not having fun on one im having fun in the other

Sensible economical seat leon diesel due to wife, if i bought anything with a bit of real power and it would spend most of its life embedded in hedges, having said that the diesel is no slouch really,

SRI Vectra Estate Diesel Turbo, chipped to 175bhp cheap to run but very quick.

Drive well ive a white van for my show bikes a ford KA for general use, a VW Karmann Ghia for Special occasions.

But i drive a HGV every day almost.

i kinda dont fit any group

i'm picking up a 1.4 corsa on friday.something cheap to run!besides i drive a dirty great hst 125 most days so i'll do anything up to 125mph without gettting nicked. and it's great watching all the grockel boxes stuck on the m5 when i zoom past doing a ton

LOL good question, my recent drives ranged from E34 M5, then a 194bhp vauxhall corsa, now a astra estate tdi

BUT, I put £40 of diesel in on friday, done 583 miles over the weeknd and still nowhere near the red yet

Celica VVTLi 190, Yamaha designed motor that revs to just under 9000rpm, 190bhp from 1796cc. Currently for sale (see four wheels chat area).

Have bought an Ibiza Cupra Turbo to use for a while until I sort my house out. Used to have Imprezas, Honda CRXs (VTEC & non-VTEC) plus Golf GTIs etc.

Once had an Astra 1.2 as a company car (after a Golf GTI), thought this would be OK as had a bike for speed but did miss the performance in the car, not just the speed but the handling & brakes, not to mention the specification a performance car usually has - probably the same if anyone went from a sportsbike to a cruiser - would miss the performance & handling there too.

At the moment got a P reg vectra 1.6 16v and a P reg fiesta 1.3

The vectra is going once I've put new MOT on it in the next month and is gonna be replaced with something cheaper to run...a scooter like a 250 majesty.

If I get on ok using a scoot through winter the fiesta is going in Jan to be replaced by another vectra or simliar ready for baby

Would like a quick car but if I did have the money for one I would rather use it on the bike, priorities and all that

Sierra Cosworth 4x4 currently running at 400bhp

Zafira Diesel for wife, family, dog, crap etc - 7 seats

Smart passion for work – don’t laugh, its ideal for what I need:
good in town
good across county
good (enough) on the motorway

Group 2 insurance, £60 tax, good mpg, air con, abs, traction control, remapped + piper filter + carbon scoop = 72bhp (same as Brabus) GPS speed 102mph!, also 195 alloys so can go around bends too.

Cheapest pence per mile, according to Which….


How else was I going to pay for an MV F4 and a track bike

Those smart cars are ace. I even like the little roadster ones. When they've come down in price I'd like to get one for the Mrs to do her work in.

Drive Fiesta Courier Van for those very very slow moments, like going to work. also Escort Cabriolet for those nearly bike days.( who shouted hairdresser!)

VAUXHALL ASTRA 1.7TDI peice of crap but its a company car, before that i had mk111 golf gti's, a quality performance car. the wife has a saxo vtr but that has nothing against the old golfs.

i'd buy another golf tomorrow if i had to buy another car

1.2 corsa *yawn*

only thing i can really get reasonable insurance on at 18 tho
